Cologne Conference selects TopTen

September 02, 2009 British TV is represented by the BBC's three-part miniseries "The Children," about a mysterious tragedy that befalls a patchwork family, and ITV's "Above Suspicion," a new crime drama from "Prime Suspect" creator Lynda La Plante. "Glee," 20th Century Fox's "High School Musical" satire, made this year's TopTen list, as did two Showtime dramas: "United States of Tara," which stars Toni Collette as a mother with multiple personality disorder, and "Nurse Jackie," the drama featuring Edie Falco as a dedicated, drug-addicted ER nurse. An impressive four documentaries complete the lineup: the Dutch aliens-are-out-there doc Calling E.T.; the intimate portrait of break-out artist Michel Vaujour in My Greatest Escape, from French producers Le Bureau; Nollywood Babylon, a Canadian doc looking at the phenomenal Nigerian film boom and Rembrant's JAccuse, a filmed essay from auteur Peter Greenaway which uses a forensic analysis of Rembrandt's painting Nightwatch as a starting point for a broad social critique.
